The Short History of the Long Road

This is if they knew how to do it: not such a great story but so wonderful told, such a great directoring and damn well plaied made it a soul touching movie!!!

All of us have wanderlust. Whether realized via a leisurely Sunday afternoon drive, a spontaneous road trip, an exotic resort vacation or a lifestyle, we as humans are innately driven to get up, get out and migrate about at various points in our lives.

The new drama "The Short History of the Long Road" is all about this need to move. Sabrina Carpenter is wonderful here as Nola, a young woman who has known nothing but crisscrossing America in a clunky vintage van with her vagabond father. Nola is traveling a road to discovery in her young life. We watch as she learns that home is where you make it, a residence of the soul, not limited to physical location nor trappings.

And I must give heartfelt props to Writer/Director Ani Simon-Kennedy for "daring" to show Christians who are actually fully dimensional, real people, not caricatures to be exploited and belittled. This shouldn't be bold. But amidst the mentally of the modern motion picture community, it is.

God Bless you for sharing your own voice, Ms. Simon-Kennedy. And for not letting it drown in the malicious and mystifying anti-faith messaging flooding your business.

This road movie presents another way than a standardized life. Living with less to enjoy more the life.

Other possibles, in harmony with nature exists. Don't expect great special effects and this reflect the way of the life than the father offer to her dautgher.

No spoilers. Sabrina does exceptionally well playing a young lady trying to find her way in the world after her dad dies and she's without her mom. I was impressed with the whole movie.

Excellent, Sabrina Carpenter's performance is amazing, I liked the plot and the way the story is told. The locations are very beautiful, and the story is very entertaining and exciting.
